Quality Control Action Plan

Quality control plan addresses the action, Inspection, and Sampling and
testing necessary to keep the production and placement operation in
control, quickly, determine where an operation has gone out of control
and to respond to correct the situation and bring it back into control.
Quality Control plan addresses action needed including the frequency
of testing to.

 Keep Process in Control

 Quickly determine when the process has gone out control
 Respond adequately to correct the situation and bring the Process
back into control.

Quality Control

QA Team Responsibilities
 In general, the QA Team will be responsible during remedial
construction activities
 Promoting and implementing remedial construction QA reporting,
record keeping, meetings, and inspections;
 Reviewing and approving submittals for material certifications,
equipment calibration and various construction plans;
 Conducting verification field tests, sampling, and material analyses;
 Observing and monitoring surface water quality, air quality, verifying
removal of tailings/impacted soils; and
 Verifying that the remedial construction complies in all other ways
with the Contract Documents; as outlined in the Drawings, Special
Provisions and Technical Specifications.
Control of Work
 Neither the Engineer nor other members of the QA Team may direct
Contractor’s work. Contractor is an independent contractor. Any
changes to the remedial construction contract will be approved by
Contractor, Engineer and DEQ, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Contract Documents, and utilizing mechanisms such
as a work change directive or a change order.

PROJECT COMMUNICATION

Reporting
 Engineer (with input from QA Team) will prepare and submit to PWD
a Monthly Progress Report. These reports will present summaries of the
important information relating to the monthly remedial construction
activities gathered from the various records described below The
Monthly Progress Report will include, if necessary, any proposed or
field- approved modifications and justifications to the Work, this CQAP,
the Drawings, the Special Provisions, Technical Specifications, or Site-
Specific Health and Safety Plans, Contractor’s Erosion Control Plan or
other submittals. Engineer will obtain from Contractor updated
information on construction activities, including percent completion and
any scheduling modifications. The Monthly Progress Report will include
Contractor collected information as well as a summary of the laboratory
analytical results.

Record Keeping
 Members of the QA Team will perform various record keeping duties
under the supervision of Engineer. The QA Team is responsible for
maintaining a complete and accurate record of all significant
observations and inspections of all field or laboratory testing. These
records will be kept on-site for review. The record keeping activities of
the QA Team will include the following:
 Daily Project Logs -- All field members of the QA Team will keep daily
project logs which will be reviewed by Engineer. Logs will be submitted
to Engineer on a weekly basis. Log entries will document significant
activities, abnormal observations, weather, deviations from the
Drawings, Special Provisions and Technical Specifications or other
standard procedures, health and safety meetings, important
information and summaries regarding field sampling, measurements,
observations or testing, equipment calibration and operation results,
any photographs taken and topics/results of any significant meetings or
discussions. Recording on the logs will generally be in accordance with
the methods and procedures specified
 Photographs -- Construction photographs, videos and associated logs
will be recorded on a periodic basis to visually document significant
construction activities and to provide visual reference material.
 QA Testing Documents -- Instrument calibration forms, field and
laboratory measurement and sampling forms, sample logs,
documentation forms, sample analysis requests, chain-of-custody
forms, and any other documents related to QA testing will be kept on-
site.
 Other Documentation -- Other documentation required, but not
limited to, includes shop drawings, material compliance certifications,
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) forms, health and safety and
construction meeting summaries, inspection records, relevant
construction files, material samples and manufacturer's recommended
installation or operating instructions.
 All records collected by the QA Team will be saved in an electronic
database developed by the QA Team
Construction Meetings
 A series of meetings will be conducted during the implementation of
each phase of the remedial construction contract. The meetings and
inspections mentioned in this section are in addition to the daily
construction oversight inspections to be conducted by the QA Team.
The following are inspections and meetings anticipated for each phase
of RA construction:
 Pre-construction Meeting – The pre-construction meeting is a
requirement of the remedial construction contract. Its primary purpose
is to develop a working relationship between the parties to the Work,
the requirements of the Contract Documents, schedules for the
submittal of documents, applications for payment and proposed
schedule(s) for the remedial construction. Engineer (and other
members of the QA team) and DEQ will initiate and conduct the pre-
construction meeting with Contractor personnel prior to the start of
Reach A, Phase 1 remedial construction. The goals of the meeting
includes familiarizing all parties with the requirements of the project;
safety concerns and hazards; relevant land access issues and verifying
that the details of the design specified in the Drawings, Special
Provisions and Technical Specifications are understood. EPA and NRDP
will be invited to the pre- construction meeting.
 Weekly Progress Meetings -- Weekly progress meetings will be
conducted by Engineer (and other members of the QA team) and DEQ
with Contractor to inform participants to the remedial contract of
scheduling changes, overall progress of remedial construction and any
other relevant construction issues, as necessary. EPA and NRDP will be
invited to the weekly progress meetings.
 Monthly Progress Meetings – Monthly progress meeting will be
conducted to inform all parties and stakeholders of overall remedial
progress implementation. EPA, NRDP and other members of the QA
team and DRT will be invited to the Monthly Progress Meetings.
 Final Inspection and Meeting -- This meeting will be conducted by
Engineer and DEQ in accordance with the Supplementary Conditions to
identify the completion or resolution of any outstanding issues at the
point of completion of remedial construction. EPA and NRDP will be
invited to the final inspection and meeting.
 Following completion of construction activities, a QA Construction
Summary will be prepared and will include the results of the
construction monitoring and testing. The summary will contain
descriptions of the quality assurance activities, summary of results, any
notable events that have occurred and supporting data (i.e.,
construction logs, supporting photos, laboratory result, etc.) The QA
Construction Summary will be submitted to DEQ as part of the
construction completion report.
 Certification and Calibration

 Certain specialized materials have been specified in the Drawings,

Special Provisions and Technical Specifications. It is imperative that the
correct materials are used during remedial construction to maintain the
functionality of the design. It will be the responsibility of the Engineer
(with input from other members of the QA Team) to review and approve
all certifications required as specified in the Special Provisions.
Equipment used in special construction or material testing are to be
calibrated on a regular basis. The Engineer (and other members of the
QA Team) will have the responsibility to ensure that calibration is
completed and documented. Table 1 lists the materials and equipment
anticipated for certification and calibration submittal and review.

Testing Equipment
However, the contractor will procure all equipment for the proper
functioning of the laboratory as per actual requirements.
